Wow, I'd not heard of widgets yet, I don't think. Reminds me of that silly little sheep icon download that went around the net years ago to the delight of some and disdain of others (it drove me nuts basically). Anyone remember that?

When I read the title "Widgets: good or evil?" I did a double take. At first I thought you said widgies. lol Not sure if you all know what a widgie was. Back in the middle of last century there were apparently groups called bodgies (the boys) and widgies (the girls). They were the same as your rockers I've read. They have since been described as one of the first real "gangs" in gang culture in Australia. Thing is they were pretty harmless and basically hung around in milk bars and listened to Elvis.
